The thousand and one people who
Draw Ell the heat yesterday to take in a
ball game witnessed some of the finest
fielding ever seen in st. Paul. The
work Of Crooks went beyond the pretty
and beyond the magnificcnt-it was
marvellous. He was covering seven
elghthS of the ground between first and
second, and not ball that struck the
ground inside the diamond in his wide
territory got by him. The one error he
made IN ten chances was on an exceed
mgly Slow grounder, which he fumbled
a little and sent TO first tritle late
Cleveland also did some extra good
work i'll the field, getting three
put outs and four assists. A
very high, hard drive by
Hoy. which passed through the
tips of his fingers, is scored as a hit. He
also did an unusually large days work
with the vi IOWA minute or SO after the
game was opened he put in his third
bid for the GLOBES home-run medal by
sending pretty line hit over the left
field fence, ami followed it up with a
double and single. Wilmot tried to
send the sphere over the right field
fence, but ii fell a few feet short and he
had to content himself with three bags.
McCauley was as steady as stone
fence at first. but he couldn't hit the
ball to safe place. Pickett's
married by an error, and he
pasted the ball for three bona fide hits.
Prescott played right field in a rather
1istleSS fashion, misjudging H0y'S high
fly badly and allowing him two-baSe
hit on what should have been an out.
SOwders covered center field in excel
lent form and raped out a two-bagger
III the eighth inning. The work of the
battery was also good. Viau struck out
less men than usual, but the visitors
hits were pretty badly scattered except
in the eight inning. Dillon, who caught
his first game for st. Paul, warmed to
his work as the contest advanced, and
was tremendously applauded for his
success in taking foul tips from the bat.
He also hit the ball hard. His weak
ness seems to be in throwing short to
bases. The visitors, with the eXcep-
ton of Nagle, did good work in the field.
THE GAME
was opened with st. Paul at bat
promptly at $3.50. WilmOt proved
good waiter, taking first on balls. Cleve-
land whacked the ball over the left field
fence, making the circuit of the bases
and bringing Wilmot in ahead of him.

time in the fourth inning by Hoy's i'll
field hit. a passed ball and CoOney'S
double 10 left. Four were added in the
eighth. O'COnnell was hit by the.
pitcher, stole second and scored on
H0y'S double to right, the latter coming
i'll on Cooney'S single to center. Ellis
double brought COoney home. Ellis stole
third and crossed the plate on Burns
out. The visitors came very near Scor-
ing in both the fifth and sixth innings.
in the fifth Ellis opened up with hit to
right, was advanced to second on Burns
hit to left and each stole base. Nagie
hit a cOrkerto Pickett at short, who held
the base runners on second and third by
a feint and caught Nagle at first. De-
vine then struck out and Cleveland
made pretty stop and throw Of Skaters
grounder. In the sixth O'Connell took
first on Pickett's tumble, went to
second on wild pitch and to third
on HOy'S hit to left and
Hoy ran down to second, Cooney went
out on a fly to third and Dillon dropped

diagonally into the field, captured the
ball, ran to second and cut off Doran
and sent the sphere to first ahead of

applause. The score is as follows:
